A man has drowned at a NSW beach, as police and emergency services urge people to take greater precautions amid a heatwave
A man has drowned at a NSW beach, as police urge residents and visitors to take care in the water amid predictions that warmer temperatures will continue throughout the weekend.
It is believed a man, aged in his 60s, was receiving CPR from a member of the public when ambulance staff arrived at the beach, and that a rescue helicopter also attended. The Sussex Inlet and District Surf Life Saving Club patrols a northern section of the three kilometre beach, but it is understood the man was pulled from a location towards the southern end.
The state’s deputy commissioner of emergency management Peter Thurtell said while he advised people to avoid the sun during the hottest part of the day, large crowds were still expected to make their way to beaches, rivers, lakes and swimming pools across the state.
